Some things never change . . . like Jeff Gordon winning races in wholesale fashion. Or challenging for championships year-in and year-out. Or nailing down poles in record-setting time. And, in addition to driving one of the most colorful cars on the circuit, Gordon pilots one of the fastest! To celebrate the high points of Gordon's career thus far, Sam Bass has created "Color Fast!", now available to collectors!

Black has reigned dominant over the Earnhardt dynasty for nearly two decades. Now, Sam's latest release, featuring Dale Jr., turns the page on history. This simple pencil portrait prompts the mind's eye to "see red."

It's black-and-white "...And Red All Over!" It's the latest set of Sam Bass sketches featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr. Centerpiece for this trio of illustrations is a portrait of Dale Jr. brilliantly rendered in the poignancy of black-and-white. The two accompanying sketches-done in all red-capture the driver's familiar No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet Monte Carlo from differing perspectives.

The walls of the Sam Bass art gallery, located less than a lap away from Lowe's Motor Speedway's high-banked oval, are alive with vivid recollections of racing's most exciting and endearing events.

Visitors are often overcome with a sense of time frozen in place as they view the paintings as if Jeff Gordon's first win were only yesterday; Richard Petty's seventh championship had just happened; and Mark Martin is just beginning to celebrate his $1 million victory in the Coca-Cola 600. Individual moments, protected from the present behind the glass plates of their frames, hang in anticipation of being freed by the imagination of race fans.
